Trump suggests House intelligence chair should face 'arrest for treason' – live news Trump suggests House intelligence chair should face 'arrest for treason' – live news
(32 minutes later)
Here’s where the day stands so far:
Trump has suggested that the Democratic chairman of the House intelligence committee should be arrested for treason over his opening statement at a congressional hearing last week, an idea that flies in the face of the Constitution.
Mitch McConnell confirmed that the Senate would be obligated to hold a trial on whether to remove Trump from office if the House impeaches him.
Another House Republican, Mac Thornberry of Texas, announced he would not seek re-election – again signaling the GOP’s low expectations of retaking control of the chamber next year.
The blog is still covering the latest on impeachment, so stay tuned.
Jay Sekulow, one of Trump’s personal lawyers, dismissed House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry as a “skirmish” in comparison to the “war” that was special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow just now on his radio show re. impeachment: "We won the Mueller probe. We're going to win this one. Here we go! I tell you what. If Mueller was a war this is a skirmish."
Sekulow helped guide Trump through Mueller’s investigation, which ended earlier this year after nearly two years and has largely receded into the background as concerns over the president’s Ukraine call came into focus.

Now for the easy decision. If the House decides against filing articles of impeachment, or the Senate fails to convict, Senate Republicans will have to decide whether, given what we now know about the president’s actions and behavior, to support his reelection. Obviously, the answer is no.Now for the easy decision.

Just in case you missed the first few dozen times the blog covered this: there is no evidence that Joe Biden or his son, Hunter, engaged in corruption. The former Ukrainian prosecutor who first investigated corruption claims against a company with ties to the younger Biden has even said he saw no evidence that the Bidens violated Ukrainian law.Just in case you missed the first few dozen times the blog covered this: there is no evidence that Joe Biden or his son, Hunter, engaged in corruption.

Trump is also wrong on how much money European allies have given Ukraine. Since Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, the European Union has given $16.5 billion in grants and loans to Ukraine. In comparison, the United States has provided at least $1.3 billion to Ukraine since late 2013.Trump is also wrong on how much money European allies have given Ukraine.

From Donald Trump on down, prominent Republicans used part of their weekend to falsely accuse Trump’s hand-picked intelligence community inspector general (IC IG) of secretly changing the requirements for intelligence workers to submit whistleblower tips as part of a deep state plot to clear the way for the Aug. 12 complaint about Trump’s phone call to the president of Ukraine.From Donald Trump on down, prominent Republicans used part of their weekend to falsely accuse Trump’s hand-picked intelligence community inspector general (IC IG) of secretly changing the requirements for intelligence workers to submit whistleblower tips as part of a deep state plot to clear the way for the Aug. 12 complaint about Trump’s phone call to the president of Ukraine.
The smoking gun in the putative conspiracy is an obscure government form, IC IG ICWSP Form 401, also known as the Disclosure of Urgent Concern Form.

According to the GOP and an army of conservative commentators, the old version of the form prohibited workers from submitting urgent complaints based on secondhand information; only misconduct witnessed personally could be reported. That changed in early August, the false claim goes, when ICIG Michael Atkinson snuck through a hasty revision to the complaint form that reversed long-standing policy.According to the GOP and an army of conservative commentators, the old version of the form prohibited workers from submitting urgent complaints based on secondhand information; only misconduct witnessed personally could be reported.
